pg. 51 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) with Interior Air Quality syst\
em (option)
Interior Air Quality system (option)
Some cars are equipped with a Multifilter and Air quality sensor. The fi\
lter separates gases and particles,
thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the car.\
The Air quality sensor detects
increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the Air qualit\
y sensor detects contaminated
outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger comp\
artment is recirculated, i.e. no
outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans recirculated passenge\
r compartment air. When the Air
quality sensor is activated, the LED AUT comes on in

Operation:
Press to activate the Air quality sensor (normal setting).
Or select one of three functions by pressing

NOTE: During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may sti\
ll have fuel nozzles that
are not compatible with the fuel filler neck on cars equipped with the e\
vaporative control system. Please
refer to
page 130 for additional information.
CAUTION:
l Do not refuel with the engine running *. Turn the ignition off or to pos\
ition I. If the ignition is on, an
incorrect reading could occur in the fuel gauge.
l After refueling, close the fuel filler cap by turning it clockwise until\
it clicks into place *.
l Allow for fuel expansion by not overfilling the tank. Overfilling could \
also cause damage to the
emission control systems.
l Avoid spilling gasoline when refueling. In addition to causing damage to\
the environment, gasolines
containing alcohol can cause damage to painted surfaces, which may not b\
e covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
l Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol)\
. This practice can result in
vehicle performance deterioration and can damage critical parts in the f\
uel system. Such damage may
not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
* If the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine is runni\
ng when the car is refueled, the Check
Engine light (malfunction indicator lamp) may indicate a fault. Howeve\
r, your vehicle's performance
